Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #199


My house is slowly recovering from the Flu.  It always sounds like you are "under the weather for a few days and then right back to normal".  Wrong.  It was a full week of extreme illness and now a week later everyone still has very low energy, coughing, and a generally feeling of "off".  My poor husband is definitely the worse, I think this is due to him rarely getting sick whereas my son and I get the school sniffles all the time.  Maybe we built up some sort of resistance??

Anyways,  this weeks sketch from AHSC is a classic!  And a great way to showcase a few different patterned papers at the same time. I choose to work with the Dreamin' Big paper packet and the Dreamin' Big - Cardmaking (Z3303) coordinating stamp set that has really lovely sentiments and it that comes with thin cuts for super cute bugs like these butterflies.

Other products I used on this care are the Dreamin' Big Sequins, White & Gold Twine, black ink for the stamping, and juniper, poppy and saffron cardstock.

Thank you for stopping by and I truly appreciate your comments. I hope I have inspired you to come play along with us at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge!

Happy Crafting.

Lest we forget

This time of year is super busy for me helping my crafty friends prepare for Christmas but I wanted to take the time to properly give my respects to Remembrance Day.  Like many Canadians, my grandfathers and great-grandfather's fought in the World Wars.  Their sacrifices and the sacrifices that those "left behind at home" made helped ensure the Canadian peace and lifestyle we can so easily take for granted on a regular day.  So at this time of year, we remember and we say Thank You.

Christmas in July!

For this weeks Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge I decided to do some "Christmas in July"! This card is a mix of current, retired, and soon to be retired products from Close To My Heart.
Current products are the beautiful Fresh Air patterned papers, the Pewter cardstock, and Silver Sequins.  The retired products are the Wood Grain embossing folder used on the Pewter Cardstock (along with a little light sanding) and the Poppy Twine (which can still be found in the Clearance section of my shopping website!).

The soon to be retired... the Poppy and Juniper cardstock that I used to cut out my sentiment and the accent branch.  I bet you are saying WHAT! Poppy and Juniper are retiring!!!  I know, they have long been favorites of mine too but don't panic, I am sure the colours that are replacing them are going to be gorgeous.  The Cricut cuts are; Merry Christmas  - Artiste (retired) and for the Pine Needle Branch - Flower Market.

Thank you for stopping by and I truly appreciat…
